Silverlight controls for DXv2 11.2

As I stated in one of my most recent and (most heavily commented) blog posts, we made the decision to target Silverlight 5 for our Silverlight controls in v2011 vol 2. Now, that may or may not have been the right decision to make, but make it we did....

WPF and Silverlight Workspace Manager (coming in v2010.2)

I saw this one fly by as part of the What’s New proofing that’s going on (Ray is doing a fine job!) and the image alone made it worth publishing a blog post about it. First of all, what’s a workspace? A workspace is a particular layout of DevExpress controls...

Merging our Silverlight and WPF UI controls

The first beta of DXperience v2010 vol.1 has just been made available to our DXperience customers, and so I’d like to take this chance to talk a little about one of the major impacts of that release: the merging of our Silverlight and WPF controls to...

4 years on, my 400th blog post

Yesterday, on the Ides of March, a date of which you should beware if you happen to be Caesar, an anniversary came and went. Four years ago, fresh-faced and wet behind the ears, I became CTO of Developer Express. Today, I’m older and wiser, grizzled you...

Whither (or should that be wither?) WPF?

Scott Guthrie's big keynote of MIX09 has just ended and we're left with the aftershocks of some pretty exciting news. The Silverlight 3 beta was released (along with the SDK , and other goodies ) and Scott took us on a whirlwind tour of what's...

Silverlight Control Builder Contest '08 complete

A couple of days ago the Silverlight Control Builder Contest '08 that Page Brooks organized came to an end. He'd managed to convince a whole bunch of vendors like ourselves to pony up prizes (ours was a subscription to DXperience Universal and...

Silverlight layout control: Area51 has been fully updated

With all the brouhaha going on about the AgDataGrid, it's easy to forget the layout controls that our Silverlight guru Vlad wrote way back when, when the world was young and Silverlight was but a 1.1 alpha release. Although with the grid it's...

"I need X, why are you doing Y?"

We're now at the end of day 3 of the TechEd Expo and another interesting day. For the first time we felt the effects of having the Expo area open at the same time as the sessions: the traffic today was slower and we were able to really get into some...

Get yer screenshots here!
